Inflation - The Biggest Hurdle

Inflation is the biggest hurdle in your financial needs achievement. Average inflation has grown by 5.64% in the last 30 years. This means your money loses value over time, making it crucial to invest in assets that beat inflation.

How Inflation is Eating Your Money?

The value of your money decreases over time due to inflation. Here's how ₹1,00,000 has reduced in value at 7% inflation per annum:

1990

₹1,00,000

2000

₹50,835

2011

₹24,151

2024

₹10,022

Source: RBI - Reduced value of money @ 7% inflation p.a.

Your ₹1,00,000 from 1990 is worth only ₹10,022 today! This is why investing in assets that beat inflation is crucial.

The Right Way

Simple, smart, and time-tested formula to achieve your financial needs:

START EARLY + INVEST IN RIGHT ASSET CLASS + SAVE REGULARLY
=
Financial Needs Achievement

Start Early

Give time to your investment rather than timing the market, and benefit from the "Power of Compounding."

Systematic investing has a compounding effect on your investments. In the long term, an investment as low as ₹10,000 per month swells up into a huge corpus. If an investor starts early, then even with a lower invested amount, they can create a large corpus.

Mr. Early

  • • Investment Start Age: 25 years
  • • Monthly SIP Amount: ₹10,000
  • • Investment Duration: 35 years
  • • Total Invested Amount: ₹42 Lakh
  • Estimated Corpus: ₹6.43 Crore*

Mr. Late

  • • Investment Start Age: 45 years
  • • Monthly SIP Amount: ₹20,000
  • • Investment Duration: 15 years
  • • Total Invested Amount: ₹36 Lakh
  • Estimated Corpus: ₹1.01 Crore*

*Assuming investment in Equity Fund and an average return of 12.62% p.a. as per AMFI Best Practices Guidelines Circular No.135/BP/109-A/2024-25 dated September 10, 2024.

Starting 20 years earlier with half the monthly amount resulted in 6.4x more corpus!

Right Asset Class

Equity market has outperformed all other investment avenues. Growth of ₹1,000 in different asset classes from March 1999 to March 2024:

Sensex TRI₹30,054
Company Deposits₹14,063
Bank Deposits₹9,210
Silver₹7,065
Gold₹5,601
Inflation₹3,929

Source: Gold & Silver - RBI Data as on Jan 2024 | Bank & Co. Deposits - RBI Data as on Sept 2023 | Inflation - RBI Data as on Feb 2024 | Sensex TRI - ACE MF - Data as on March 2024

It is evident that in the long term, equity investments have outperformed other investment avenues and have beaten inflation by a huge margin.

Equity mutual funds + Liquidity, Transparency, and Convenience over a long-term horizon offer better risk-return pay off

Invest Regularly - Disciplined Investing Through SIP

Every investor dreams of buying at a low price and selling at a higher price. But, how does one know whether any given time is the right time to buy or sell? Many retail investors try to judge the market movements and end up losing their money in the long term.

Rupee Cost Averaging

A more successful strategy is 'Rupee Cost Averaging' wherein you invest a fixed amount regularly. Thus, you purchase more when the prices are low and purchase less when prices are high. SIP investments take advantage of this strategy.

Mr. SIP Investor

Invests ₹1,000 monthly across 4 months
Total Units: 427.02
Avg. Price: ₹9.36/unit
Value: ₹4,697.22

Mr. One Time Investor

Invests ₹4,000 at once
Total Units: 400
Avg. Price: ₹10/unit
Value: ₹4,400

The above example is merely an illustration of 'Rupee Cost Averaging'. The NAVs and returns generated are purely indicative.
